Yes, there were some good times. Randy Moss’ rookie year, seeing Brett Favre have his beast season there, guys like John Randle and Cris Carter playing the primes of their careers there.

But the Vikings franchise is ready for change. The Bud Grant years were great, but that was a generation ago. Onward with a Mike Zimmer, a new franchise QB, and a new home.

Blame the stadium
Get new coaches
Face the facts, the Vikings have the Lombardi curse!!
They will never win unless Vince himself removes the curse!

It’s a bit cruel to get Vikings fans’ hopes up that a new stadium will equal a championship team. It won’t happen. The Vikings will continue to suck in their new home, and will always be the Green Bay Packers’ annoying little brother.

Isn’t it fitting that the best team in the NFL will have the best stadium?
